presently the room began to fill up, and
the great mirror reflected one radiant vision
after another; and Sara's hands and eyes
were so busy taking notes that she lost all
self-consciousness, and was oblivious of the
curious glances now and then cast in her
direction. One group gave place to another
and there was no time to study faces; the
general effect and material of a costume was
all she could grasp-the wearer was but an
animated lay-fgure to the busy reporter in
the corner
But after while there was lull in the
arrivals, AID the latest corners, group of
pretty, stylish girls, who seemed to be all
on intimate terms, fingered and chatted
together, and seemed to be in no haste to
descend. Sara had given to each her line
OF description, and was leaning back with
folded arms for moments rest, when she
was startled by the vision Of a satin slipper
raised to the level of her knee, while a
quick, imperious voice exclaimed:
There, just button that strap, will you?"
Pushing back her chair, Sara arose and
looked the young lady full in the eyes for
moment; then, turning to the maid, she
said: Marie, your services are required
here" and herself crossed the room to seat
by the window.
There was brief silence, and then the
same imperious voice reached her ears:
well. did one ever see such airs! Who Is
She, and what is she here for?" The French
maid probably made answer here, for the
next moment the voice went on "oh, news
paper reporter, is it? II that's all, she need
not nave felt aggrieved at being taken for
maid, I'm sure" and scornful laugh round
cd the sentence. A few filters followed
from other members of the group, and sara's
eyes flashed with indignation, while her
checks outlined her carnations.
Then clear young voice spoke up: For
shame, girls She looks like lady. and you
can't suppose she likes being here. Don't
make her position any harder by snubbing
her."
